Hy I trie to add a mcp23017 to get some gpio. I would liké to use thèse gpio since u-boot(i 3 LEDs and 2 buttons). I know that uboot 2022 has the driver for. But our clearfog cn9130 isn’t compatible with. We must use uboot 2019. I found a patch but i think it’s not for uboot 2019 [https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20210715154000.92119-3-sebastian.reichel@collabora.com/](https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/project/uboot/patch/20210715154000.92119-3-sebastian.reichel@collabora.com/) Someone has an Idea to allow the mcp23017 in uboot 2019? Can we use the reset button for another option? Thank by advance ---

I will take a look ---

Hy again 🙂 For my project, i just need two buttons and 3 leds controllable from Uboot. I can do it with the front Button. But i can’ do anything with the hardware reset button and the leds. ---

The hardware reset button is a physical button and not controllable by software. It physically pulls the reset line to ground to reset the device. ---

Thank you for the Informations. I understand better. The LEDs can’t be mangeable too i think. I see a uboot for Marvell version 2022 here : > **[drivers/gpio · next · U-Boot / Custodians / Marvell ARM architecture U-Boot...](https://source.denx.de/u-boot/custodians/u-boot-marvell/-/tree/next/drivers/gpio)** > > Marvell (MVEBU & Kirkwood) ARM architecture I tried to apply patches but get some errors(i know patches were for 2019 version), i tried to adapt manually too. ---

I am sorry I misunderstood and thought you were adding your own LEDs. Yes the LEDs on the board are all tied to existing hardware. ---

You don’t misunderstood, i try to add my own LEDs and m’y own buttons with the mcp23017. 🙂 I just talk about LEDs on board because i tried to use them ^^ ---

okay, so you have that connected via the i2c bus on the mikrobus header? ---

Yes, i have connected thé mcp23017 to thé i2c of the mikrobus. I Can see it with i2c commands(adresse used 0x20). If i well understand, if i manage to install thé good driver i Can use the gpio of thé mcp23017 liké thé gpio of the front Button. ---

then you should just need to backport the driver to the BSP u-boot and include the proper device-tree entries to enable it. ---

Can we manage GPIO of the mcp23017 by passing I2C? Read state of button and change state of led. I see commands i2c mw and i2c read ---

yes you should be able to use raw i2c to control the device ---

thank you to help me 🙂 I tried to understand the I2C command ( i’m not very good in I2C). pinout are used like this : gpb0 = button 1 gpb1 = button 2 gpa0 = led 1 gpa1 = led 2 gpa2 = led 3 Here the doc i use to have informations : > **[MCP23017-Data-Sheet-DS20001952.pdf](https://ww1.microchip.com/downloads/aemDocuments/documents/APID/ProductDocuments/DataSheets/MCP23017-Data-Sheet-DS20001952.pdf)** > > 995.46 KB I have found a table with register addresses : ![Sans titre](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex005/uploads/solid_run/original/1X/c988b47921c0705e8b05e5b4d9f32d024b42a0d8.jpeg) With all these informations i tried this command : have state of led1 i2c md 0x20 0x12h.0 0x01 0x20 for the chip 0x12h.0 to select gpa(0x12) 0(0) 0x01 for 1 byte Am i in wrong? ---

The default BOOTM length in our u-boot config is 256M. Is your Image larger than that? If it isn’t then most likely there is not enough space after the image load address to hold the full size of your image. ---

Hy, I have found my error. Because i use a system with fit files, i must modify the kernel address in uboot, to load the file fit in another address than the Image and fdt address.
